witch hazeln.

Brit.

/ˈwɪtʃ ˌheɪzl/, U.S.

/ˈwɪtʃ ˌheɪz(ə)l/

Forms:

α. see wych n. and hazel n.; also late Middle English wychassell.

β. 1600s weech halse; English regional (south-western) 1800s witch halse, 1800s– wych halse.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: wych n., hazel n.

Etymology: < wych n. + hazel n., in some later uses (especially in sense 2) with remodelling after witch n.Most forms of the first element are found as variants of both wych n. and witch n., although the early use of the word to denote the wych elm (see sense 1) suggests that wych n. is the original first element. Forms written with witch in the first element (more common as a form of witch n.) are found from the 16th cent. onwards; in sense 2, these are the most common forms. Compare other names of plants associated with witches (although these are typically later), e.g. witchgrass n. and witchhopple n. at witch n. Compounds 2, and also Scots †witch's hazel rowan (1802 or earlier). Variant forms. With the β. forms compare halse n.²

1. An elm tree, esp. the wych elm, Ulmus glabra (now historical and rare). Occasionally also: †a hornbeam (genus Carpinus) (obsolete).Quot. 1671 has sometimes been taken as showing sense 2a, but it seems more likely to refer to an American species of elm or hornbeam.
